Earn it? Taxed.
Spend it? Taxed.
Save it? Taxed.
Invest it? Taxed.
Build it? Taxed.
Sell it? Taxed.
Live in it? Taxed.
Drive it? Taxed.
Eat it? Taxed.
Drink it? Taxed.
Smoke it? Taxed.
Give it away? Taxed.
Die? Still taxed.
And what do they do with it? Waste it.
This has to stop - our money & our future are being taxed into oblivion.
It's wrong that if you want to watch the football at the weekend, paying extortionate amounts to do so, yet don't consume a second of BBC content - you still have to pay the licence fee.
If it were up to me, I'd defund the BBC tomorrow. Make it a subscription service. A tenner a month, or whatever they think they can get away with...
We're told it's a national treasure, surely this is the way forward? What's the argument against it? There isn't one.
Let's be fair - the BBC hasn't exactly covered itself in glory in recent years. There seems to be a disproportionate amount of miscreants in their ranks...
I don't want to fund that circus. Do you?
Yet they have the cheek to bombard and harass those who dare not to pay the fee. It's like the mafia. Sending the heavies round to extract the cash. My advice if these people come knocking asking for personal details? Politely, but firmly, ask them to leave your property.
The BBC is woke, it's out of touch, it's arrogant. How many of their journalists do you think vote Reform? Or even Conservative?
It was founded to 'inform, educate and entertain'. It comprehensively fails on all three.
It's time to defund the BBC.
So you’re telling me that:
- Income Tax
- National Insurance Contributions
- Corporation Tax
- Capital Gains Tax
- Council Tax
- Value Added Tax
- Excise Duty
- Fuel Duty
- Stamp Duty Land Tax
- Air Passenger Duty
- Insurance Premium Tax
- Green Taxes (Includes levies on energy bills or vehicle emissions, like road tax).
- Gambling Taxes
- Plastic Bag Charges
- Carbon Emissions Levy (embedded in energy costs for businesses and indirectly passed to consumers)
- Landfill Tax (paid by waste management companies but often reflected in local authority charges)
- Television Licence Fee
- Congestion Charges
- Soft Drinks Industry Levy
Isn’t enough to fund public schools, public services, roads, etc? They also have to apply a death tax and charge your kids on money you’ve already paid tax on? 🤡🌍
It's a strange country when the GP is begging you to visit for a covid jab, but you can't get an appointment when you're ill.
When you can't get the Police out for a theft, yet they're knocking down your door for a tweet...
A man is jailed for 3 years after viewing an illegal Premier League stream on a Firestick. Huw Edwards doesn't spend a day in prison for accessing 41 indecent images of kids. There's something seriously wrong with a justice system that values football matches more than children.
